If precision is what you're looking for then a mitre box is a great start. This Expert quality mitre box from Draper is top of our list as it features an excellent double clamping facility making life easier for beginners and pros alilke.

The Mitre Box is moulded from tough high quality plastic to give exceptional rigidity and has two sprung clamps for holding the workpiece.

It also features one 45°, 22.5° and 90° guides on both edges with a side on 45° slot for larger sections of materials.

Two bench edge stops on the underside to prevent movement whilst working but the base has two countersunk slots for permanent fixing to bench which we really recommend.

This Mitre Box will fit almost any hand saw but we recommend a tenon or fine cut saw for a nice finish.
